Made quicktime movie on my iMac, emailed to daughter: audio, no video

I have a brand new imac and made this short movie with isight camera and compressed it for email. Sent it to my daughter. She says she has quicktime on her windows machine. Don't know what version. She said it played sound, no picture. So I sent the video to myself as well and opened it on my windows laptop and it played fine. I have the newest quicktime available. Should she download a new version of quicktime?

Most certainly as the default for creating movies on the Mac now uses H.264 which is available in QuickTime 7. Send her to this page
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html
And tell her to click "Free Download"

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

If there is an item in there drag it out.

Cs6 Trying to import .mov I keep getting the error "no audio or video streams"

I have 2 projects and I can not import .mov I keep getting the error msg "no audio or video streams"

I know this is an old thread, but this may still help someone having problems importing .mov files into Premiere Pro CS6 (or earlier versions) in Windows 7/8.
- Go to control panel
- Appearance and personalization
- Folder options
- View tab
- Un-check Hide extensions for known file types
- Hit OK
- Find your FILE.mov file and rename it to FILE.mpg
Try importing the newly renamed .mpg file to Premiere and it should work. PP CS6 kept crashing for me, but once I renamed the file, it imported perfectly. Hope this helps.

Import mov error. "The file has no audio or video stream".

Very interesting. Would this also explain why i was previously able to import some high def files I downloaded and after the reformat of my computer and reload of cs5.5, I'm now not able to use those files? It's very strange. I did a project, used the high def mov files and it came out great. After a mandatory reformat and reload, now the file doesn't want to import into premier. Error message was... "this file has no audio or video stream"... yet they play fine in media player, and one of the files works, but not the rest. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Mark

Mark,
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere Elements Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is a repository for articles on how to do things in PrElements.
Maybe our MOD, Steve Grisetti, will move this out to the Premiere Pro CS 5 & CS 5.5 forum, where you will get more replies.
After the reformat, did you install Apple's QT Player? If so, what version.
What is the CODEC in those MOV files? That can be very important, but the very later versions of QT Player should install most of the popular CODEC's, that one sees in MOV, MP4, MTS, etc. files.
Good luck,
Hunt

Quicktime movies made from PNG files???

I'm working on an edit that I was handed by another editor and I'm having the hardest time messing with the project. Apparently he made Quicktime movies out of PNG frame sequences and then used those movies (that seem to be not self contained) to edit in FCP. Everything was offline when I got it and when I reconnect it it goes thru every frame of every shot saying..."Searching for movie data in file...." Takes sooo long.
SO I let it search and it finshes but then when I double click the movie file in the browser or in the time line it starts the long search for every frame again.
Got any suggestions? This is driving me nuts!!!
Thanks,
Chris

This sounds like the behavior when a Quicktime reference file is used. You can be in FCP or in the Finder but when the original media used to create it isn't available the Mac os will try to search and you see that message. It can take a while. If that media isn't available you won't be able to edit with it. Not a good workflow to use.

Using "One Step DVD from Movie" on my IMac 10.8.6 using Verbatim DVD-R ("Life Series") 4.7 GB 16X 120, I get a wide angle version of my two minute story rather than the 3X4 standard aspect ratio that I normally get and want. Help!

While using "One Step DVD from Movie" using DVD-R Verbatim ("Life Series" 4.7 16 X 120 min) on my IMac 10.6.8 I get a wide angle aspect ratio on the DVD not the standard 3X4 aspect ratio. The Quicktime Movie is is standard 3X4 aspect ratio and the video video footage is standard 3X4 aspect ratio? Advice will be greatly appreciated.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
Click to view full size
3 - reboot.
4 - launch IDVD and try again.
Personally I would not the the one step method but create the iDVD project from scratch so you can make sure the widescreen option is not selected in the preferences and you can follow this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Quicktime movie not displaying properly

Hi,
Can anyone help?, I have inserted an mpg into a page using
the "plugin" symbol (is this correct?), and although it displays
correctly when i preview in browser, after i upload it to my server
and click on the link, it goes to the page, hangs there for a
while, and then displays a black vertical strip with numbers and
symbols in it?.
Is this likley to be a server prob or do i need to do
something with the file itself?
If anyone would be kind enough to help, then this is the

yeah, this kinda *****... since there's no MMS, not being able to play QUICKTIME movies sent to my email on iphone is a real pain in the ***, plus it just does not make much sense.

How do i export a sequence to an uncompressed quicktime .mov file?

hello everyone.
I have a little problem.
I have a 20 secs sequence that needs to be exported from my FCP 6.0.3 to UNCOMPRESSED quicktime .mov file. Its HDV footage.
These are the steps I've taken.
I go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICK TIME MOVIE. I have all the settings to current setting, and I have checked the "Make Movie Self-Contained" option.
When I'm done exporting, I get a .mov file, but its a Final Cut Pro file, not a quicktime file.
This means I can't open in a PC, where I have to do some compositing.
I would really appreciate if anyone can give me some advise or tips on how to get my export .mov file to be a quicktime file uncompressed .
Thanks
-r

The Uncompressed 4:2:2 codecs only come with Final Cut Pro. Two ways:
1) In FCP, go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Set format to QuickTime Movie and click Options. Go to Settings under Video and set Compression Type to None. Put all the sliders at maximum. Click Ok, deselect Prepare for Internet Streaming and click Ok. Export the file.
2) This is the one I personally prefer, as it will be compatible with any system, even if they don't have QuickTime. Go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Under Format, select Image Sequence. Go to Options, set Format to TIFF and enter the FPS. Click Export and you will have a series of sequentially-numbered images that most compositing apps will treat like one big movie clip.

Embedded QuickTime movie malfuncioning

I'm using Keynote '08 (vers 4.04) under Tiger.
One of the slides in my Keynote presentation is a short QuickTime clip with audio. Everything works perfectly when I play the Keynote presentation.
However, after adding a narration to the presentation and exporting the presentation as a QuickTime file, the short clip malfunctions. The clip's audio starts, but the movie itself only starts rolling towards the end of the short clip.
Any clues what could be causing this please?
Thanks

Mine is not a true test as I am using Keynote '09 with Mac OS X 10.5.8, but just did a test and the slide that had both a Quicktime movie and a narration did export but the movie did not start until everything that I said in the narration had finished. So when I was trying to talk over the movie, it did not export that way.
One workaround for you would be to record the narration in Keynote and save, then right click the file in the Finder and Show Package Contents (if you don't see this option see below how to find the file) and look for the file called narrationTrack1.m4a and drag it to the desktop.
Then go back to your Keynote file and Export, but uncheck the box that says to include the Recorded Audio. Then add the Quicktime movie to iMovie and then add the audio file to get the narration with it. Then export the whole thing from iMovie.
Definitely not the ideal workaround, but hopefully it will work for you.
If you don't have the option to Show Package Content, follow these steps
Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
Open the folder and drag out the audio file
Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)

Why does th It is a QuickTime movie from a dvd home recording.

Why does the audio stop after the movie starts? It is a QuickTime movie on a dvd home recording. Also, the video is choppy.

If you are referring to an MOV file stored on a data DVD for playback in the QT (or similar) media player and not a DVD "authored" for commercial DVD device playback, then it sounds like you encoded it incorrectly. Basically DVD devices have a limited data transfer rate and if this rate is lower than the total playback data rate (combined video + audio data rates), then some of the data is not transfered to your computer fast enough for smooth playback in your media player.
I would normally recommend compressing your movie content using the H.264/AAC codecs (most efficient Mac standard codecs) and set the "Optimization" pop-up to the "CD/DVD ROM" setting. This option will "package" the encoded content for playback directly from a DVD player that is compatible with data rate limit you impose for the encode. Another option would be to copy the file from your DVD to your computer drive for playback since hard drive data rate transfer is much greater than that of a DVD player.

Best Program for editing quicktime movies

What is the best program for editing quicktime movies.
For example, I have several quicktime movies in the 4:3 aspect ratio, but the video is ment to be 16:9 so there is black on the top and bottom. I want to be able to crop out the black and make the video file a true 16:9 wide screen video becuase my laptop has a widescreen 16:10 aspect ratio lcd. And when playing back these videos, you end up with a couple inches of black on the top and bottom, and right and left, so a lot of screen space get's waisted. The only programs I have found so far that can make a 16:9 quicktime video have not supported the H.264 format, and only stetch the video to 16:9 rather then croping it, so the black remains on the top and bottom and the aspect ratio is off and every one looks short and fat becuase it's not in its native aspect ratio correctly.
Does anyone have any advice on what program I should use?
Also, does anyone have any recomendatiosn for how to convert wmv files to quicktime / itunes videos? I have found one program that does so, but it comes out very blocky and the audio is out of sync with the video by a good five seconds.
Thanks

MPEG Streamclip (free) can crop and Save As so you wouldn't need to add any new compression to the existing files.
The make a Windows version now (it used to be Mac only).
No tips on converting WMP files but you'll find dozens of solutions in the iPod Discussions pages.

Exporting from imovie to quicktime movie

I have a 1080i HD movie in imovie I want to export to a quicktime file. In imovie the file is 50 gigabites. When I export at full quality it turns it from 16:9 to 4:3. When I go to expert settings and render it to a quicktime movie only the sound comes through...no video. This only happens with this particular movie. Other short movies I have are compressed to quicktime in HD just fine. I need suggestions how to render this from imovie to quicktime so I can keep the video in HD.

I tried that and it makes a file without
video...sound only.
Itsounds like you didn't have the Sound box checked.

Quicktime movie looks different in different browsers. Is there a fix?

I have an H.264 Quicktime movie (and will be making versions with the Sorenson Video 3 codec, WMV compatible files, and FLV as well), and it looks the way I want it to look in Firefox for Mac and Firefox for Vista. In Safari and Internet Explorer, the blacks are washed out and it looks less saturated (though this is probably due to the image being washed out).
Is there anything I can do? I know Safari reads color profiles now, but I don't know how to add that to a Quicktime movie, and that wouldn't fix the problem with IE (or, curiously, Firefox on XP). If I drop the blacks enough to make it look good in Safari and IE, it will be too dark for Firefox users. Firefox appears to be the one displaying it "properly" (how it looks in FCP and the stand-alone Quicktime player).

It is indeed tricky. I've spent a lot of time over the last few months trying to figure it all out and still can't wrap my head around it all. That's due in large part because there's a lot of misinformation out there.
Thanks for the article. It's interesting because I too set my monitor to 2.2 gamma (sRGB) but for the purpose of working on this project had reverted it to 1.8 (Cinema Display default), and it's been there for a long time now. It is interesting, but it didn't solve my problem.
My problem is different browsers show a Quicktime differently. Now that I've switched to 2.2, Firefox looks too dark and Safari looks just right (where as before Firefox looked just right and Safari was washed out). Is there or is there not an option to include a color profile with Quicktimes? If not, I'll have to make a compromise, and I'd rather have one that looks great across all high-end monitors (meaning an expensive Dell or Apple monitor on OSX, WXP, and WV).
Does anyone know what in particular is making the two browsers display Quicktimes differently?

Random audio dropouts from FCP 4 to Quicktime Movie

Never experienced this headache before, until today...
I've built my project as per usual in FCP4 - no problem. Then I exported project as Quicktime Movie for iDVD4 but I noticed that audio disappeared in two different sections - each portion of silence lasting a minute or so.
I went back to FCP and exported a new Quicktime Movie - almost the same result only audio disappeared in a different section for three minutes or so. Back to FCP and I built my project on a new timeline (Sequence) - same result when I exported to Quicktime but again, dropouts occur in different sections.
At present, I'm exporting each of the 10 Sequences that make up my project as separate Quicktime Movies and so far, I've completed 2 with no audio dropouts.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem?
